Doc, I am doubtful about the quality of those shells too. Hal's initial penetration tests over 15 years ago showed #9 TSS penetration about the same as #4 lead. I haven't done those sort of tests, but I've shot a lot of turkeys with it and had no issues with penetration. I dropped a cripple at nearly 80 yds with #8 in a 12 gauge and it folded him right up. I sometimes find #9 still in the back side of the turkey, but most pass through the head and neck.
Less than 100 hits is also concerning. The fact that the shot get out of the pattern that quickly makes me wonder if it's really 18g/cc shot. I wouldn't shoot one over 40 yds with those shells. Good luck checking it out.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
